But I’m talking tech/pharma innovations, the US dominates in that regard. Why do you think that is?


And I don’t need to cope brah, I have an EU citizenship lol. I can move there anytime I want.
I was talking about western europe broski.

The US dominates in selling hyped up crap and twitter or ******** aren't tech innovations, they're garbage. Imagine being proud of those multinational companies lol. Again do you even know CERN? If not you are low IQ and I see no reason to continue this debate.

And I'm going to tell you a secret, you're not in the club friend and you'll always be a "temporarily embarassed millionaire".



Edit enough metrics showing the same: life is better for the average (western) euro than american

Do you really not understand why our tech innovations are not quite the best on the global scale?

Our true best tech innovations are made by defense contractors so you don't quite see that tech until it scales down to the consumer market. That doesn't happen elsewhere.

averages can be deceiving bro... and im not proud of any company, im just asking why you think american companies have been the ones to be most innovative in terms of technology?

literally the reason me and you are having this conversation right now is because of tech innovations by american companies lol.


and again, no bias.. im not american, i have no reason to be biased in that countrys favour, but its hard to ignore obvious ****.

U wot m8, the computer you're typing on now is invented by europeans. Hell most science ever conducted on this earth is because of euros.

LMFAO "apple invented the personal computer" Just because they put the word "personal" in front of it doesn't mean they invented it. Here, educate yourself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage

The processor is based on his principles. Lol at merican intellect.

Internet was a DARPA project, that's true. But again with european support, and the most important interent protocols are european:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee

LMFAO "I actually dont know of any", atleast you're honest about your ignorance.

Ever heard about Higgs-Boson?

What about landing a spacecraft on a fcking meteorite?

Time to watch something else than netflix and porn bro. Educate yourself, again look up CERN, ITER, JET,...

Hell a week ago:

You do know fusion energy right?

you literally listed no tech innovations though lol.

"what tech innovations?"
"we landed on a meteor bro!"


im talking about real products developed bro. like a reusable fuking spaceship...


oh and btw, just because an invention is based off of someones principles doesnt mean they invented it. an abacus is technically a computer, that doesnt mean the ancient greeks invented my operating system.

wot a funny thread.........so much cope and counter cope


focus on how you are doing personally not whatever BS you think your country has invented or not

ALL countries have good and bad points ..............its how you live your life and manage them that counts.......

UK has loads of fat fcks...............I'm not fat...........UK/London has high housing prices................I paid off my Mortgage years ago..........some people do not get many annual leave days ......... I have so many i find it hard to take them all.................some people work day and night trying to make ends meet.................i barely do 10 hours most weeks......................many people are in debt and live month to month or week to week and are one missed paycheck from the streets...............i do not notice anymore when i am paid and have decent savings and a solid pension to look forward to when the time comes

where you live is not the point, its how you are doing that counts


Am i very rich ......No and i could give 2 fcks.................do i have enough to meet all my needs and my family's................more than enough to live very comfortably and do the things we want and get what we need..........thats it

Are you fcking retarded? The accomplishment of JET >>>>>>>>>>>>> fkcing twitter or ******** and so far Musk's reusable spaceship is nothing more than a concept at best for now.

lol coping ****ot getting irate af. Typical.


You can either accept that the majority of technological innovation comes, and has come, out of the US or you can burry your head up your supreme chancellors ass lmao.


The reason for that is because the american system promotes innovation and the european cuck system promotes peasantry, such as yourself.

Peasant.

Yes and most americans are poorer than western euros, that's a fact. The wealth inequality in the USA is extreme.

"Mean wealth is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate wealth by the number of adults. Median wealth is the amount that divides the population into two equal groups: half the adults have wealth above the median, and the other half below. In nations where wealth is highly concentrated in a small percentage of people, the mean can be much higher than the median (e.g. the United States)."

So let me see if I understand, they already have on average 10% less people than other nearby country that are willing to work, and they think that by making those who are working work less they're gonna fix the issue of people not wanting to work?

How about this, you grind it out for a few years, climb up to a high paying position that allows you to set your own schedule, and then coast for the rest of your life. No? Let's have everyone work less, and somehow that will make more people want to work, makes sense.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

They're actually giving the option to do 9.5 hours/day for 4 days instead fo the usual 8 hours/day for 5 days.
